Bastianello by John Musto

Performed as part of a double bill with Philip Glass' The Juniper Tree at Wolf Trap Opera. This modern retelling of an Italian folktale tickles the funny bone and warms the heart. After a wedding debacle, a young husband sets out to find people who are greater fools than his own family. What he finds surprises both him and us.

Performances on Aug. 11, 13 (matinee), 16, and 19 at The Barns at Wolf Trap.
